    An awful man!

    Hey, Chu-san...
[00:29] Oma
    That thing you said before...
[00:31] Oma
    It's the last time for what?
[00:36] Chu
    My last time meeting you like this.
[00:39] Oma
    Wait!
[00:42] Oma
    Don't tell me...

    Are you sure?
[02:14] (Flashback) Kume
    I'm sure.
[02:16] (Flashback) Kume
    The gravestone charm left
    next to the corpse...
[02:20] (Flashback) Kume
    It's his calling card.
[02:22] (Flashback) Hei
    Hakabi no Shugoro...
[02:25] (Flashback) Hei
    How difficult.
[02:29] (Flashback) Hei
    We'll be enhancing our
    patrols throughout the city.
[02:32] (Flashback) Hei
    Make the preparations.
[02:34] (Flashback) Hei
    Kimura...
[02:36] (Flashback) Hei
    Chugo, you'll be part of them.
[02:39] (Flashback) Chu
    I... will?
[02:42] (Flashback) Sa
    Chief...
[02:43] (Flashback) Sa
    Bunny Chu? Are you sure?
[02:45] (Flashback) Saka
    Bunny Chu can't handle this.
[02:48] (Flashback) Hei
    Why do you call him "Bunny Chu"?
[02:50] (Flashback) Sawa
    Well... the sweets shop Matsumura,
    near the Shiba Shinmei Temple,
[02:54] (Flashback) ---
    sells these manju bunnies.
[02:58] (Flashback) Sawa
    They look so much like Kimura...
[03:01] (Flashback) Sawa
    We just couldn't help ourselves.
[03:03] (Flashback) Hei
    Kimura.
[03:04] (Flashback) Hei
    Why don't you fight back a bit?
[03:06] (Flashback) Hei
    Give the paperwork a rest,
[03:08] (Flashback) Hei
    man up, and show them what you can do.
[03:11] (Flashback) Chu
    Um...
[03:14] (Flashback) Chu
    Y-Yes, sir.
[03:19] Chu
    So I went, patrolling Ueno and Yanaka.
SIGN    Iroha
[03:41] (Flashback) Oma
    My name is Omatsu.
[03:43] (Flashback) Oma
    Thank you for coming.
[03:53] (Flashback) Oma
    So cute!
[03:54] (Flashback) Chu
    Hey, I think you're moving a little too fast!
[03:57] (Flashback) Oma
    When I like a customer,
    I just can't hold back!
[04:00] (Flashback) Oma
    What's your name, Mr. Samurai?
[04:02] (Flashback) Chu
    Ch-Chugo. Um... I'm a ronin
    from Ueda... in Shinano.
[04:08] (Flashback) Oma
    Chu-san, then!
[04:09] (Flashback) Oma
    Chu-san!
[04:18] (Flashback) Oma
    Welcome!

[04:30] (Flashback) Oma
    Welcome!
[04:31] Oma
    And the next thing you knew,
    you were out of money?
[04:36] Chu
    I used the last of the
    money my father left me.
[04:40] Chu
    And I've borrowed to the limits
    of my relatives' goodwill.
[04:44] Chu
    There's no more blood to get from this stone.
[04:47] Oma
    Chu-san...
[04:51] (Flashback) Zen
    Forgive me, Chugo.
[04:54] (Flashback) Zen
    My awkward disposition has left
    me little to bequeath you.
[05:01] (Flashback) Zen
    You get your foolish honesty from me.
[05:08] (Flashback) Zen
    Listen to me.
[05:10] (Flashback) Zen
    Live your life... on the
    straight and narrow path.
[05:17] (Flashback) Chu
    Father!
[05:19] (Flashback) Chu
    Father!
[05:23] Chu
    Father, forgive me.
[05:28] Oma
    Chu-san!
[05:31] Chu
    S-Silly... Cut that out.
[05:33] Chu
    Didn't you hear what I said?
[05:35] Oma
    Yes... I'm so happy you went
    through all that just to see me.
[05:40] Chu
    That's not the point!
[05:42] Chu
    I'm trying to tell you...
[05:44] Oma
    I understand.
[05:46] Oma
    But you don't have to worry about the money.
[05:48] Oma
    I'll handle your bill.
[05:55] Chu
    You... how did you...
[05:57] Oma
    Another of my customers
    was willing to pay for us.
[06:01] Oma
    So you can keep on coming.
[06:03] Oma
    Please, hold me again.
[06:06] Chu
    You mean it?
[06:07] Oma
    I want you.
[06:08] Chu
    W-Wait, that's not the main—
[06:15] Sa
    That fool, Bunny Chu...
[06:17] Sa
    Has he been acting strangely of late?
[06:19] Saka
    Yes.
[06:20] Saka
    He's seemed more refined, in a way.
[06:25] Sa
    Does going from paperwork to patrols
    really change a man that much?
[06:29] Saka
    That steamed luster. That glowing vitality...
[06:34] Saka
    He'd outshine even a real manju bunny.
[06:38] Sa
    Chief!
[06:40] Hei
    What is it?
[06:46] Hei
    Call Kume.
[06:48] Saka
    Yes, sir!
SIGN    Iroha
[06:53] Kawa
    How's that ronin you're so fond of doing?
SIGN    Iroha
[06:57] Oma
    He's coming constantly, thanks to you.
[07:01] Oma
    But why are you doing this, Master Kawagoe?
[07:05] Oma
    Why give me ten whole ryo?
[07:08] Kawa
    That friend of yours was sounding
    rather light in the wallet.
[07:15] Kawa
    Hearing he's been passing
    on the wine and food lately
[07:18] ---
    inclined me to step in.
[07:20] Oma
    Even so...
[07:23] Kawa
    None of that, now.
[07:24] Kawa
    I'm too old for that nonsense.
[07:28] Kawa
    I just want to spend time with you like this.
[07:32] Oma
    You're very strange.
[07:34] Kawa
    I am not.
[07:37] Kawa
    While a man engages in wicked deeds,
    he may find himself doing good.
[07:42] Kawa
    A man who mainly does good may
    find himself acting wickedly.
[07:47] Kawa
    That's how life is.
[07:51] Oma
    Kawagoe-san, are you a wicked man?
[07:53] Oma
    I don't believe it.
[07:54] Kawa
    I need to be wicked to do what I do.
[07:59] Kawa
    At any rate, it's time for
    me to return to Kawagoe.
[08:04] Kawa
    I won't make it back to Edo for a while.
[08:07] Kawa
    Look after that ronin of yours...
[08:10] Kawa
    Omatsu.
[08:14] Chu
    Kawagoe-san said that?
[08:17] Oma
    I would have liked you two to meet,
[08:21] ---
    but I don't know if he'll come back now.
[08:24] Chu
    I see.
[08:26] Chu
    I was hoping to meet him and
    show my appreciation, but...
[08:32] Chu
    "While a man engages in wicked deeds,
    he may find himself doing good.
[08:35] Chu
    A man who mainly does good may
    find himself acting wickedly."
[08:39] Chu
    What a deep saying!
[08:43] Oma
    It doesn't make any sense to me.
[08:45] Chu
    No, finer words were never spoken!
[08:47] Chu
    Master Kawagoe is a true master of life!
[08:50] Chu
    I'm sure he is!
[08:55] Sa
    You great fool!
[08:57] Sa
    Skipping patrol to engage in
    afternoon delight at a brothel?
[09:01] Sa
    And you call yourself a samurai!
[09:04] Sa
    You call yourself part of
    the Arson & Theft Department?!
[09:06] Chu
    F-Forgive me!
[09:08] Sa
    I was wondering why you were acting
    so pleased with yourself lately.
[09:12] Sa
    I could call you Weasel Chu. Rat Chu!
[09:16] Sa
    Maybe Mouse Chu!
[09:18] Sa
    You can spend the rest of your life
    crawling around the floorboards!
[09:21] Hei
    That's enough, Sajima.
[09:24] Sa
    Sir...
[09:26] Hei
    Hey, Bunny Chu.
[09:29] Hei
    I know I told you to man up...
[09:32] Hei
    But I think you chose the
    wrong way to go about it.
[09:37] Hei
    I'm putting you on office duty for a while.

[10:12] Oto
    They've been popular lately.
[10:20] Kawa
    Are things proceeding as planned?
[10:23] Oto
    Yes, sir.
[10:24] Oto
    Everything's in perfect order.
[10:26] Kawa
    This will be our last job in Edo.
[10:29] Kawa
    I want to make it a smash-and-grab job...
[10:32] Kawa
    Since we'll be refraining
    from big jobs in Sendai.

    Understood.
[10:38] Oto
    But Boss, you know...
[10:42] Oto
    Your love life?
[10:45] Oto
    You've been frequenting the Iroha Teahouse,
[10:46] ---
    where the authorities could
    burst in at any time.
[10:50] Oto
    It's had me worried.
[10:55] Kawa
    Listen, Otokichi.
[10:57] Kawa
    Do you remember a woman named Oshizu?
[11:01] Oto
    Yes...
[11:02] Oto
    I do remember.
[11:05] Oto
    But that was twenty years ago...
[11:08] Kawa
    I met a woman with similarly
    fine features and disposition.
[11:13] Kawa
    It's not a mad infatuation
    or anything like that.
[11:17] Kawa
    It's just pleasing to have her dote on me.
[11:23] Oto
    For heaven's sake, Boss...
[11:29] Oto
    Excuse me.
[11:31] Oto
    The item you asked for.
[11:35] Kawa
    Don't worry. I can keep the two separated.
[11:38] Kawa
    Despite how I look, I'm
    still Hakabi no Shugoro,
[11:42] ---
    known for his violent thefts.
[11:46] Kawa
    Let the others know...
[11:49] Kawa
    This job will really send the blood flying.
[11:59] Sa
    That fool, Bunny Chu...
[12:01] Sa
    Has he been acting strangely of late?
[12:02] Ko
    Yes. The swelling sense of
    satisfaction is gone like a dream.
[12:08] Sawa
    He looks half-dead.
[12:10] Sawa
    We can't tease him like this.
[12:13] Ko
    They say a rabbit can die of sorrow.

    Well... the truth is...

    I... I wasn't actually heading out on patrol.
[18:11] Chu
    I was sneaking out to see a

    You're very good at that.
[19:03] Hei
    Fantastic technique!

    I frequently massaged my

    He passed six years ago, didn't he?

    I'm told he was serious and passionate
    about his work, but also kind.

    Though this was before my time,
     so I never met him.
[19:35] Chu
    S-Sorry.
[19:40] Hei
    The truth is, the Iroha Teahouse
     is closing today.
[19:47] Hei
    Lord Shirakawa wouldn't stop complaining.
[19:51] Hei
    "To think of such a place so close
    to the shogun's family cemetery."
[19:55] Hei
    So they're closing it down.
[20:00] Hei
    You could still make it in time.

[20:49] Woman
    Go on.
[20:51] Woman
    It's true. You look just like your father!
[20:55] Woman
    Calling yourself a ronin from Shinano...
     how heartless!
[20:58] Woman
    Had you given your full name from the start,
[21:00] ---
    I would have seen to you personally.
[21:02] Woman
    You see, yesterday, Hasegawa-sama stopped by,
[21:05] Woman
    and offered to pay any
    expenses you'd racked up.
[21:09] Woman
    I said, "Which ronin was that?"
[21:11] Woman
    And he said it was an employee
    of his named Kimura Chugo.
[21:15] Woman
    I said, "The son of Kimura Yoshiyuki-sama?"
[21:18] Woman
    My goodness, I was so surprised!
[21:21] Woman
    That's right. Your father
    was a customer of mine!
[21:25] Woman
    He was so terribly kind to me.
[21:28] Woman
    Even when times were hard,
    he always found the money to pay me.
[21:33] Woman
    And he was quite good in other departments.

    It must be fate that Omatsu
    would fall for you.
